Once the celebrities or official pages or figure people leave that site for its dismaying complications, that will be the doom of it as followers of those don't have other significant reasons to stay.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=WPTfIPHLUcw

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
